Jaws Version: 18.0.2530 User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Navigate to http://drive.google.com 2. Attempt to enter characters in the password field to log in. Expected Results: JAWS screenreader reads "star" as the user enters characters for the password Firefox Nightly enters in valid information Actual Results: JAWS screenreader says different things dependent on the key entered, and characters are not entered in the form field. The following happens when Firefox Nightly is in focus on the OS: For example, pressing the following keys in the password, JAWS screenreader reads the following: A - "There are no radio buttons on this page." B - "There are no buttons on this page." C - "There are no selectable ARIA controls, list boxes, or comboboxes on this page." D - "This is the first element of this page." F - "There are no form fields on this page." This works normally when e10s is turned off.
It appears that JAWS is not switching to forms mode automatically (a high-pitched blop sound when the password field gains focus is not heard). These messages are an indication that virtual cursor is still active.

This issue is still reproducible with the below specs - This continues to happen whether or not e10s is enabled. Firefox Nightly - 57.0a1 JAWS Version - 18.0.4938

I can reproduce (or similar to) this with latest Nightly and Jaws on Win 10 at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org. Simple try to enter a bug number into the search field. It won't work. Profiler: https://perfht.ml/2vXeCYH

Closing as INVALID due to user error while operating JAWS. I have seen form input working fine with recent JAWS and Nightly, provided forms mode is correctly turned on first.
